Feature Description
Feature Description
Signal Path
The MT9M001 signal path consists of two stages, a programmable gain stage and a pro-
grammable analog offset stage.
Programmable Gain Stage
A total programmable gain of 15 is available and can be calculated using the following
formula:
Gain 1 to 8: Gain = (bit[6] + 1) x (bit[5:0] x 0.125)
For gain higher than eight, the user would need to set bit[6:5] = 11 and use the lower 3
LSB's bit[2:0] to set the higher gain values. The formula for obtaining gain greater than
eight is as follows:
Total gain = 8 + bit[2:0]
For example, for total gain = 12, the value to program is bit[6–0] = 1100100.
The maximum total gain = 15, i.e. bit[6:0] = 1100111.
The gain circuitry in the MT9M001 is designed to offer signal gains from one to 15. The
minimum gain of one corresponds to the lowest setting where the pixel signal is guaran-
teed to saturate the ADC under all specified operating conditions. Any reduction of the
gain below this value may cause the sensor to saturate at ADC output values less than
the maximum, under certain conditions. It is recommended that this guideline be fol-
lowed at all times.
Since bit[6] of the gain registers are multiplicative factors for the gain settings, there are
alternative ways of achieving certain gains. Some settings offer superior noise perfor-
mance to others, despite the same overall gain. Recommended gain settings are listed in
Tab le 7.
